## What is AeroPads?

Designed by a musician, AeroPads offers professional and inspiring ambient pads. Elevate your live sound with immersive pads and keep your team locked in time with precise metronome clicks.

Trusted by professional musicians– from small stages to sold-out stadiums– AeroPads are the best-sounding pads on the market, widely praised for being harmonically intricate and versatile without sounding boring or stagnant.

Ambient pads add depth and dimension to revitalize your mix and eliminate dead space and awkward transitions. 

AeroPads is a space-inspired ambient pad player designed to accompany and underscore live musical performances of many kinds.

Operation is simple:
1. Select a Key.
2. Select a Patch.
3. Play.

AeroPads is widely used for weddings, cinematic scores, worship services, songwriting sessions, rehearsals, open mics, studio tracks, and chill ambient arrangements.

Ambient pads are often used with acoustic guitar, electric guitar, and piano, but are equally compatible with instruments such as violin, cello, synthesizers, ukulele, harp, and more.

AeroPads feature enough harmonic movement and texture to fill out solo performances while remaining restrained enough to accompany full bands.

Ambient pads can help you feel more relaxed and prepared on stage, so you can focus on the performance.

Designed by Aerospace Audio, AeroPads feature the same sounds and similar features that power the iconic foot-controlled instrument: Atmosphere.

Highlighted Features:
∙ Expressive ambient pads in all 12 keys and 3 common tonalities: Major, Minor, and Neutral.
∙ Smooth, adjustable crossfades for seamless transitions.
∙ Built-in metronome clicks with visual and audible cues to keep you in time– and a panic button to ditch the click if your team drifts tempo or skips a beat.
∙ Customizable Patch Slots and Patch Pages so that your favorite presets are always within reach.
∙ Programmable setlists recall each song’s pad selection, key, tonality, tempo, time signature, click sound, and individual level settings.
∙ Independent overall, pad, and click levels and presets provide precise control for rehearsals, recording, and live performance.
∙ Adjustable concert pitch tuning for a variety of reference pitches, including 440 Hz, 432 Hz, 444 Hz, 442 Hz, and more.
∙ AirPlay support.
∙ Independent pad and click routing send pads to the speakers and clicks to in-ear monitors.
∙ Expandable sound library with additional sound packs available for purchase.
∙ Mono, stereo, and split-channel routing options.
∙ Optimized for both iPhone and iPad.

Note from Isaac, the designer:
"I hope you enjoy using AeroPads as much as I do. I designed AeroPads because most of the available pad players and ambient pads that I tried felt boring and uninspiring. Don’t get me wrong, there’s definitely some cool stuff out there, but I never fell in love with any of it. The apps that I tried were honestly a bit clunky and confusing. And most of the ambient pads that I heard were either repetitive, boring, or just wildly distracting.

When I was looking for an ambient pad player, I wanted the interface to inspire me the second I launched the app. I wanted to get lost and feel immersed in the sound the moment an ambient pad cues. I wanted every action to be intuitive and simple. I wanted a tool that pushed me to be more creative, not bore and confuse me. I never found a tool that checked all those boxes, so I decided to create my own.

As a musician who has struggled with self-esteem and confidence, AeroPads gave me the confidence I needed to perform more comfortably and professionally. When I use AeroPads live on stage, I immediately feel more relaxed and prepared. When I use AeroPads as a starting primer to compose and write songs, I immediately feel more inspired and creative.
If you’re a musician who loves to try new inspiring tools, I hope you love trying AeroPads.

Isaac

ps. Troposphere and Satellite are my favorite patches."

### 1/5 — Absolute trash

*2026-07-16, version 4.0.3*

Don’t waste your time and money on this, it’s not a real music making tool.

### 5/5 — Unbelievably good. Cannot recommend enough!

*2026-07-06, version 4.0.3*

Just buy it. I would have paid 10x the price.

### 5/5 — Opção MIDI

*2026-06-02*

Seria muito legal, ter a opção MIDI. Assim podíamos conectar com os controladores e também ter o botão de volume dentro do app.

### 5/5 — A+

*2026-05-21, version 4.0.1*

Love it! Suggestion to add colour coding to the set list page that correlates with the live page (I can’t remember which colour goes with which name!)

### 5/5 — Simple and Great

*2026-05-04, version 3.2.0*

Love the app and the sounds.  Perfect for when I lead worship solo. 
One request…ability to import sound files (other pad files) of my own.  
Thanks.

### 5/5 — Best pad app ever!

*2026-04-28*

I LOVE this app, used it at my Church in the past week, add so much fullness to the sound and the amount of movement of the patches are really great!

Only thing i can think of is having an a fir iPad? Otherwise the one of the best apps ever! Strongly recommend

### 5/5 — Very Helpful Apps for Worshiper.

*2026-04-23*

Waiting for Featured Updates for Another Sounds!..
like backup Synths, Harp, Delay and Microcosm Sounds and Etc..

**Developer response:** Funny you say that; I’m using the microcosm in some of the newer packs :)

Stay tuned, friend.

### 4/5 — Great bit of kit, needs Airplay

*2026-02-01, version 3.1.0*

It’s a great app, simple to use and works well. I just want to ask the team to please enable airplay. Be great to be able to airplay to the Sonos speakers for example.

### 5/5 — Worship leaders handy tool

*2026-02-01, version 3.1.0*

I have grown to appreciate the Aero Pads app on IOS but what would make this amazing is to make it MIDI map friendly for hands free control .  Especially when you’re playing acoustic guitar and singing it would be great to have that feature.  Some of us are on a budget and the $399 foot pedal isn’t an option for us.

### 5/5 — Incredible sounds. Needs better iPad Mini UI

*2026-01-21, version 3.0.2*

The sounds of this pad generator are second to none. I absolutely love the sounds included as well as the additional packs you can purchase. My only hang up is that there is no real UI built for the iPad mini. As such it uses the iPhone UI and blows it up. The size still doesn’t quite fit and requires scrolling to fully see some of the Key buttons. If they end up updating the app to include an iPad mini UI I’ll come back and give it 5 stars.

I’ve updated my review to include the 5th star as the developer has reached out to let me know an iPad interface is on the way. Looking forward to that UI. Thanks!
